The richest 150 people in the UK make £300m a week and pay almost no tax on it.

Does anybody really think that is acceptable?

(They own Energy, Banks, Supermarkets, Telecoms, Mobile Phone Companies etc, so it is all money coming from you)

The National March for Palestine today is twice the size of the tommy March, so unsurprisingly there are no media choppers in the air

See how the Foreign Office views the “principles” at stake in the Ukraine war.

Similar principles are also at stake in Israel’s genocide against Gaza while the UK has been supporting Israel.

So much for principles.

During the last ceasefire,the Royal Air Force continued to send spy planes over Gaza to collect intelligence for Israel
The evidence suggests Britain exploited the ceasefire to spy on Hamas and help Israel prepare for a return to war

There appears to be widespread ignorance, or denial, of the fact that Jews march alongside everyone else on the Palestine marches.
Many Jews condemn Israel.
Condemning Israel isn't 'antisemitic'.
I'm surprised I - or anyone - has to keep saying this.

Labour MPs concerned over the govt plans to change the assessment for universal credit disability benefits.

Could trigger another mass rebellion.

Why no focus on corporate welfare-bailouts, £895bn QE, subsidies, tax abuses, no end to profiteering.

📽️NEW VIDEO -- We asked Starmer's MPs about Gaza - they ran away

The Labour Party banned our journalists from its annual conference so we stood outside asking ministers and MPs why the government won't call Gaza a genocide.
